From Ridley Scott's 1979 classic to the abomination known as Aliens vs. Predator, Digital Trends ranks all the Alien movies from worst to best.
Within the pantheon of great sci-fi franchises, the Alien franchise is certainly one of the most influential. The franchise revolutionized the sci-fi genre and has produced some of the greatest science fiction spectacles seen on the big screen. However, it’s also produced its fair share of drastic misses.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is set immediately after the events of the previous AvPmovie. The film largely concerns the hunt between a Predator and an Alien-Predator hybrid known as the Predalien. After the Predalien escapes and causes destruction in a nearby small town, a skilled veteran Predator is dispatched to kill the Predalien.
The movie focuses on its human characters far too much for a movie titled Alien vs. Predator, with two-dimensional people serving only as targets for scary kills. Alien vs. Predator follows a group of archaeologists as they investigate a pyramid found buried under the Antarctic ice. Unbeknownst to the team, is that they’ve just stumbled upon a war between two alien races.
Set 200 years after the events of Alien 3, Resurrection continues and concludes the original Alien saga. The military resurrects Ripley in order to extract the alien from within her, unknowingly fusing Ripley 8’s DNA with the DNA of the Xenomorph queen. When a vast number of bred Xenomorphs escape containment and begin to wreak havoc on the military ship, Ripley must decide where her allegiance lies.
4. Alien: Covenant The second prequel in the Alien franchise doesn’t do anything new with the IP, but that’s alright. Alien: Covenant gifts fans with a more grounded movie after the big aspirations of Prometheus, focusing back on the sheer horror of being hunted by a terrifying alien creature. It’s the scariest the franchise has been since the original Alien, and it looks as great as the vast expanses in Prometheus.
Prometheus follows a team of explorers and scientists to the darkest parts of the universe after they discover a clue to mankind’s origins. Leading the expedition are Shaw and Holloway , two brilliant people who hold extremely different beliefs toward the religious weight of their journey. When the crew arrives at the distant moon, they find the answers they seek. Unfortunately, they also find unimaginable horror.
